tracie potts is live on capitol hill with that final push on that campaign trail. good morning. >> reporter: jon, good morning. we're looking at the president's schedule today and it's a busy one. wisconsin, nevada, colorado and he will make his final argument, aides say, focusing on the middle class. he was in new jersey with governor christie yesterday looking over that storm damage. meantime today, governor romney is going to be in virginia. just in virginia. but he's got three stops there, a busy schedule as well as he moves around that battleground state. our latest polls are showing virginia and florida, by the way, where he was yesterday, really too close to call. the president has an ever-so-slight lead but essentially that it's a tie in those two states. nbc polls give the president a six-point lead in iowa, three in wisconsin, two in new hampshire. both of those last two within the margin of error. so still a very tight race, even after they took a few days off from campaigning. >> tracie, with these polls neck in neck showing them up against each other,
